I have an adware infection (new.net and IDAtoolbar) that
keeps coming back even after cleaning with Macafee. They
do not appear when I log in as a different user. I'm
asuming that the infection is in the IE (6.0) settings
file. How can I delete and recreate the user settings
and hopefully destroy the adware?
 
NewDOTNet, If you installed it on purpose, I strongly recommend that you get
rid of it. If you didn't, then definitely get rid of it.... To do so, go
here and follow the directions: http://www.newdotnet.com/#remove

IMPORTANT:
Before trying to remove spyware, download a copy of LSPFIX from
the URL below - some malware may kill your internet connection when it is
removed, this program will enable you to regain your connection.

XP)

Nothing found on google for IDAToolbar, suggest you get help.
